Second: The produced goods, profits, and goods under manufacturing are subject to Zakat if they are for sale.

Third: The considered value of the goods is their value at the time Zakat becomes due. If you advance some of the Zakat before it is due, you should consider its value at the time of its due date and pay what remains.

Fourth: What is considered for trade goods is their value at the completion of the year (Hawl). If Zakat was advanced in a certain currency and its value decreased, what is due for payment is calculated based on the value at the time Zakat became due.
